W.T. CUTSHALL, after selling the printing office in August 1872, obtained the agency for the sale of the Simmons & Clough organs for Wabash and five adjoining counties; and by untiring industry and a liberal use of printers' ink, he has developed a trade unequaled by any other agent in the states. Mr. C. has been very sick for the past two months, but is now happily out of danger and rapidly recovering, and will be looking after business again by the first of March. We understand that Simmons & Clough intend giving him a higher seat in the spring.

W.T. Cutshall says he is "hard up," and intimates that the man who sticks his nose in everybody's business, may have told the truth when he "blowed around" that the "Musical Emporium" would be closed up in a few days. But until then, he will sell organs very low for cash or on approved paper. Another car-load just received.
